Events
Trap Big 50: LSA in association with the Amateur Trapshooting Assoc. (ATA) will once again host the Big 50 Trap Program in 2024. The Big 50 Program has been instituted by the ATA to encourage shooters into registered trap shooting. The program will feature 50 registered targets per event. The Big 50 shoots will be scheduled weekly on Wednesdays. During these times, the trap field will be open to the public for registered Big 50 and non-registered shooting. Both registered and non-registered shooters may shoot at the same time and on the same squad. All levels of shooters are welcome. For further information, please contact us at info@leesportsmen.com.
5-Stand: Our 5-Stand course will be open, weather permitting. Runs from 9am–12pm. Sign in begins at 9am.
What is 5-Stand? It is a cross between trap, skeet, and sporting clays, with the advantage that it is more action packed than trap, has more cross flying patterns than skeet, and is faster and less expensive than sporting clays. It will definitely make you a better wing shot, so give it a try.

Reserved Land
Location
Lee Sportsmen’s Association campus encompasses over 120 of the full 135 acres of reserved land. It consists of woodland and watershed for fishing and hunting for the enjoyment of our members and guests.
Hours
Opens 9am–30 mins after sunset

Check current sunrise/sunset chart at sunrisesunset.com. Enter zip code 01238.
Range
This is where rabbits, turkey and pheasants, turtles, frogs and precious little newts and many other species roam. In our opinion, we have a canopy of most beautiful trees, shrubland for birds in particular to forage and hide, and a ground layer with grasses and sedge. Spring is a great time to forage mushrooms native to the New England area.
Members and guests that are bird watchers, hikers and naturalists are encouraged to explore our property at their leisure while staying safely away from range activities. We have been busy the last several years denoting our range areas for visibility with signage. If you believe we need more, please let us know.
The Lee Boy Scouts troop frequently use our facilities and land for camp outs, earning merit badges and adventures. We only ask that like the scouts, you leave no trace of your passing. We are all stewards of the LSA.
Rules
Like the Boy Scouts, you leave no trace of your passing and please respect our wildlife.
We are all stewards of the LSA.
Co-Chairs Brianna Kelly and Mike Kelly of the Fish and Game Committee
Recipient of the 2022 Lee Sportsmens Association Scholarship, Brianna Kelly is an example of the education and foundations of LSA. From a young age, Brianna spent time alongside her father hunting, and then became involved in the Youth Hunt programs. Through that experience she found a calling in raising and feeding our pheasants, often late to football games to make sure the pheasants were cared for.
She would tell you these experiences shaped her in a way nothing else had. She’s now attending The University of New Hampshire to study Wildlife Biology and Conservation. We couldn’t be more proud of Brianna and feel privileged to have made a difference in her life. We look forward to learning from her.
